Brief Summary

Pancreatic carcinoma (PC) is the deadliest malignant tumors worldwide. Surgical resection is one of the most effective methods for the treatment of PC, but the resectable rate is less than 20% among the patients with PCs, and the recurrent and metastatic rate is more than 80% in two years after resection. Ablation has been confirmed one of the most effective methods for solid tumors by recent twenty years and proven to be a radical treatment similar to the surgical resection for the clinical applications of hepatic and renal tumors at early clinical staging in the internationally guidelines. The purpose is to explore the efficacy and safety of microwave ablation in the treatment of pancreatic cancer in combination with systematic therapy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • overall survival

    Time from receiving treatment to death

    30, 90, and 180 days after the end of the last chemotherapy

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Pain relief rate

    30, 90, and 180 days after the end of the last chemotherapy

Study Arms (2)

Systematic Therapy Combined With Microwave Ablation

Perform microwave ablation for patients with pancreatic cancer, and then conduct chemotherapy according to the guidelines two to three weeks later

Procedure: Systematic Therapy Combined With Microwave Ablation

Systematic Therapy

Using the same chemotherapy method as the experimental group

Interventions

Patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer were included for laboratory examination, and quality of life and pain scores were recorded. The experimental group underwent microwave ablation first, followed by chemotherapy according to the guidelines; The control group received the same chemotherapy. Record the use of chemotherapy drugs and the occurrence of adverse events. Follow up will be conducted at 30 days, 90 days, and 180 days after chemotherapy to evaluate pancreatic function and quality of life.
